Having stated that they did not intend to make any immediate changes following a disappointing performance at the E League Major, Astralis suddenly found themselves a player down when Markus'Kjaerbye' Kjaerbye left without warning to join their Danish rivals North.

The news came as such a surprise to his teammates that a number of them learned about the move through the press, and posted their shock at the news on social media.

A number of replacements had been floated, but the general consensus was that dropped North player Kristian'k0nfig' Wienecke would be announced.

That all changed when Magisk was released by OpTic Gaming alongside Oscar'Mixwell' Cañellas on Tuesday, February 6th.

Though he was once one of Denmark's great rising talents, Magisk has fallen out of prominence to some degree more recently, with his time on OpTic Gaming yet to have yielded any big results. As a result, his wasn't a name being thrown around among the most likely candidates.

In order to be a little bit different, the Astralis management confirmed their new player by putting him in a video with coach Danny'zonic' Sørensen with a play on words of their new recruit.
